Konkan, Maharashtra | World Heritage Biodiversity in Peril | Nature Farms Konkan, also known as the Konkan Coast or Kokan, is a rugged section of the western coastline of India. It is a 720 km long coastline. It consists of the coastal districts of western Indian states of Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka. The ancient Saptakonkana is a slightly larger region. According to some Hindu Mythological legends, Parashurama shot his arrow into the sea and commanded the Sea God to recede up to the point where his arrow landed. The new piece of land thus recovered came to be known as Konkan meaning "piece of earth", "corner of earth" or "piece of corner": koṇa (कोण, corner) + kaṇa (कण, piece). This legend has been mentioned in Sahyadrikhanda of the Skanda Purana.
